Typically a cutter is underfitted with minimal systems. In time of war, 
then they are outfitted with more weapons/sensors/ECM/Commo gear. One 
would probably only find them with more than enough armament to deal
with 
ships in a Law Enforcement enviornment. However as there is a state of 
war during the time of 2183, I'd say the Cutters would be fitted out to 
the DE or FF level depending on hull size/intended purpose...
